Get there early. The shop that sells the tickets gets phenomenally busy in the afternoon. We waited about 2 mins at 10am, but 2 hours later the queue looked to be about a 45 minute wait. Plus getting there early ensures it's not too busy on the walls and this makes social distancing more possible. Your photos will be better too. There are quite a few steps up and down so a cooler time of day helps. The views are spectacular and worth the entrance fee, but if you get the Dubrovnik Card the walls are included. The card was 350 Kuna fo4 the 7 day card and the walls are 200 Kuna, so if you don't plan to do anything else with your Dubrovnik Card it's best just to pay for the walls. On an aside, the Dubrovnik Card also gets you 4 trips on the number 10 bus, which goes to Cavtat, as well as getting you more local bus trips and entry to many other attractions. Back to the walls, there are a few places featured in Game of Thrones if that's your thing. You can get on and off at three different points but most people, us included, use the entry point at the Pila gate. The one-way system means that you do the highest point of the walls near the end and then descend back towards the Pila gate. I suspect that the walls are a little treacherous in the wet so good footwear would be essential. It's not really buggy friendly and not at all wheelchair friendly.

When you‘re in Dubrovnik you have to visit the famous city walls that surround the old town. The walk on the walls is around 2 kms long, with lots of ups and downs ;), so we recommend to do it in the morning or shortly before they close. Be advised that you go up and down around 25 floors so flip-flops or high heels are not the right choice for this activity. Although the ticket price is relatively high (200 KN, around 30€) the views you get are really worth it and it‘s not a thing you do every day. The main entrance is right after the pile gate on the left side, but you can also enter or exit on the other side of the city next to the small harbor!

For somebody who is afraid of heights this wasn’t exactly dream come true, but still an amazing experience. I’ve been on the City Walls a couple of times (3 to be exact) but the first two times I went there, I was just a little child and was still too short to see behind stone walls that were surrounding the path. Even with that in mind, I enjoyed all three visits to the City Walls that do have a much bigger meaning and history than being just a place where GoT was filmed at. You have a couple of bars on the Walls that offer cool and refreshing drinks as well as smoothies. Probably the only bad thing about going to the Walls is the huge line for buying tickets. Most of the people go to the Walls when it’s cloudy and fresh outside so if you want to go the Walls on one of those days, I recommend buying a ticket a day or two before because you don’t need to use it the same day you bought it and because the line in front of Ticket Sale will probably be short. Trust me! You can also buy tickets online.

I do this walk every time I visit Dubrovnik because the views and the colours are ever-changing. The different perspective over the sea and down into the folded canyons of this millennia-old city are something that should not be missed. The light and temperatures are friendliest early in the morning or evening- the hours listed pertain to when you can enter the wall, but once you’re up there, they’ll let you stay on the wall until sunset (in July, sunset was an hour after the wall “closed” at 7:30p). It’s expensive, sure, but this is one of those cases where money does buy 2 hours of happiness in the form of an unforgettable experience. Think of it as a worthy investment into your vacation. Unless you’re there on a super busy day, just buy the tickets at the gate as it’s much cheaper. Bring water and snacks!! There are some cafes and restaurants where you can buy supplies on the wall but they’re very expensive. There are 3 exit/entry points so you can go down and come back up (to the same gate) if you need a break.

Walking the walls in Dubrovnik is a must do. Tickets can be purchased right at the entrance to Old Town, just inside. There area decent amount of steps during the walk, as well as some inclines. Overall, just take you're time and it's an easy enough walk around the walls. We took a couple of hours to do the entire loop, stopping to take photos and admire the scenery. There is a another point that you can descend back into Old Town. Depending on the direction you head about the walls it's a little over halfway. Be sure to take plenty of water and snacks if you want/need it. There is only one or two places to stop along the way and were typically cash only. There is one small restaurant which was crowded and the prices were pretty high considering it was the only place on the walls. I'd recommend waiting till you're back in Old Town.

A beautiful way to see Dubrovnik old town in all its beauty, some beautiful sites and excellent photo opportunities. It takes a couple of hours and is very hot during the day, however there are of places to stop and take a break and also some shady places out of the sun. I would recommend going early morning or evening. There are water and snack stops throughout the walls however they are expensive. The only downsides to the experience is the lack of information- no signs explaining any history etc, we had our own pocket guide book which gave us the information on the walls. The walls are overpriced for what they are especially with no guide books or information. £30 per person- it is cheaper with the Dubrovnik pass as you get entry into museums and other attractions plus discounts in food and shops. Overall it was a great experience and probably the best part of the old town.

We took a walk around the city walls of Dubrovnik whilst on a one day stop in the city on a Wednesday in June. Arriving on a cruise ship, we had planned to do this activity as we had previously visited here about three years ago when we covered the city. Docking at the cruise port in Dubrovnik, we caught a service bus to the Pile Gate at the old city. Note that to use these you must pre purchase a ticket in a local kiosk. Our original intention was to buy a one day Dubrovnik pass which gives access to many attractions in the old city as well as free public bus travel for 24 hours, however you do not seem to be able to purchase these in advance (online) nor was there anywhere selling them at the cruise port that we could find. Having arrived at the old city we found a tourist information centre near the Pile Gate and purchased our one day card only to be told that three of the museums covered by the card were closed on Wednesday’s. This was not a great loss to us as the purchase price of the card is the same as the entrance to the city wall, our main reason for going, and anything additional would have been effectively free. We started our city wall walk at the Pile Gate, the walk is configured in a one way anti clockwise direction and involves lots of steps and uphill sections which may be tiring in the heat if you have mobility issues. Also we would recommend taking a bottled drink with you. The walk takes the visitor around the circumference of the old city and gives marvellous elevated views out to sea, over the harbour and across the red tiled city itself and is punctuated by towers in the wall where there is more room to move about. The walk is very photogenic (so take a ‘selfie’ stick) and we thought well worth the entrance fee for the experience. There are occasional refreshment stops available as you make your way around and these look very pleasant to stop at but expect to pay higher than average prices here. We stopped off at a café in one of the towers in the North West corner of the wall and enjoyed a glass of freshly squeezed orange in a very relaxing atmosphere. We found a set of public toilets in the south east corner of the wall should you need one, though the wall cafes have customer facilities as well. The recommend time for walking the walls is about 2 hours but we took time to admire the views, take photographs and have a drink so our trip lasted 3¾ hours, after which went to the harbour area.

Buy Dubrovnik card as apparently the walls are included in there. Unfortunately we spotted that too late. We went in the evening, entered around 17:30 and it still was boiling hot part of the day. I recommend to wait for the sunset light in the last tower. However it closes at 19:00, it’s actually the time when the staff starts to tell people to exit. So when the staff comes to the last tower is already 19:30-20:00 so you have enough time to enjoy your sunset and view. Don’t go in the morning as it’s too hot and most of the people go in the morning to avoid the crowd, however it’s crowded anyway.

For students in August it cost us £10 each. Note that they only accept 3 types of student cards one being the ISIC and one the European youth card which is what we brought. When we showed our student ID the man at the ticket office also asked to see regular ID and he didn't seem too pleased when I showed him my driving license instead of my passport. So if you are using a student ID make sure you have a photo of your passport as well. We started at Pile gate which is the most popular entrance to start. The stairs up from the ticket office do look quite daunting at first but after that its not a difficult walk (For us in our 20's anyway) The hardest part of the walk is the between Ploce and Pile gate as the majority of it is up stairs which can be quite narrow but you can leave the walls at any gate so maybe give it a miss if you think you'd struggle. On reading recommendations we decided to go at 4pm. It wasn't overly busy at that time and the weather was getting cooler so it was manageable. I recommend looking up the times in which the ferry's enter Dubrovnik and picking a time around that to get less crowds We didn't stop at any of the cafe's along the wall but we did get some ice cream which was at a very reasonable price served to us by a friendly worker. The day we went there was a local water polo final at the pier and the walls gave an excellent viewpoint for it. In total we spent around 2 hours on the wall which included watching the water polo for around half an hour.

Did the city walls tour on last day of holiday in Dubrovnik Had spent time in old city during the week visiting spectacular places walking around streets and looking at boats on the Adriatic sea At the end of holiday decided to do a tour of city walls. Cost approx £28 in uk money. You can by a Dubrovnik day pass which costs same but gives entrance to variety of museums galleries and bus day pass. Well worth the time and expense to see an outstanding panoramic view of this spectacular city
